Yesterday’s Rally
The number 300,000 is an estimation of the amazing crowd the Rally accumulated. This is a powerful number showing considerable solidarity America has for Israel. Just observing from a livestream was incredible and I watched from several. Besides the muting of some of those livestreams something more heinous did happen yesterday. In all there were…

Remembering a Lovely Lady
Dad scrolls through the area obituaries on a regular basis. If he didn’t do this as he does we would miss being with several friends when they go through bereavement periods.

1890
The world in 1890 was much different when this little girl was born today. Dugger where she lived most of her life was a mining town and she lived just south of the town. Ironically, I just described myself, but I will come back to this thought later. Mining would be a part of her…

Revolutionary War & Israel
This is now my 2nd or 3rd attempt at this article. Due to conditions out of my control I was unable to publish this idea that’s been in my head for several years. I wanted to write this for my first blog and the timing was wrong. So now perhaps this is just God’s timing…
